Supporting the HMC

The Halifax Music Cooperative – or “The HMC”, is a feisty and passionate not-for-profit organization which brings a forward-thinking perspective to music access, music education and music-making to the residents of the Halifax Regional Municipality. Access and inclusion are at the heart of what we do, and passion is key.

The HMC could not provide the level of accessibility it does, without the kind support and generosity of the community we proudly serve.

We have developed a How You Can Help sheet to illustrate some of the many ways that individuals, groups, families, local businesses and community organizations can support the HMC. One of those ways, is simply telling your family and friends about us, and sharing that sheet within your network! Thank you!

Some of the ways you or someone you know, can show their support:
